♡ Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil ♡

 This product claims to remove all type  of makeup especially waterproof ones.

 An efficient, yet gentle cleanser that removes all make-up (even waterproof), impurities and dirt and leaves skin feeling nourished. Suitable even for dry, sensitive skin.

There's a handful of ingredients in this as compared to the original one, some are not as safe.

Aqua / Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isohexadecane, Argania Spinosa Oil / Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Salicylate, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, CI 60725 / Violet 2, Decyl Glucoside, Dipotassium Phosphate, Disodium Edta, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Ethylhexyl Salicylate, Geraniol, Haematococcus Pluvialis / Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract, Hexylene Glycol, Limonene, Linalool, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-DI-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Polyaminopropyl Biguanide, Potassium Phosphate, Sodium Chloride, Parfum / Fragrance.

I got the 100 ml, travel size one in a bundle together with the pink one. It's suppose to be non-greasy and no rinsing is required. My experience with it wasn't satisfying.

 It smelt like how the BB cream of garnier used to, the signature fragrance of 

Garnier.

 Here's some swatches for trial.

 I soaked a cotton round with the micellar water & let the cotton sit

 on the skin and swipe it 3 times.

I found the original Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water

much effective than this. It felt greasy too so rinsing is necessary.

I also felt stinging in my eyes while removing the waterproof mascara which I didn't experience with original one.

It removes concealers and foundations easily but it takes a few more cotton rounds for a matte liquid lipstick and a waterproof mascara.

 

My personal choice would be the original one If I had to choose. I do not like the dispenser at all, it spills a lot so I transferred it to an alcohol dispenser,

I'll give this baby 2.5/5. Let me know your thoughts and experience on the comments.

 Review:
▪I got this in a bundle along with the white oil infused version one ( gonna post a review on that soon), I was so excited to try these Micellar water from garnier, the packaging is cute & bright. Got them from Daraz.pk.
▪About this product, it removes makeup quite well other than liquid lipsticks, I had to use up more, for waterproof makeup you gotta use up more cotton rounds though.
Ofcourse you have to rinse your face with water even if it says not to. It leaves a thin soapy film on the skin. The dispenser is what I don't like, it spills too much so I decanted it to an alcohol dispenser.
Over-all you get what you pay for.
However, the only reason I am strongly discouraged to repurchase it is that , it's not cruelty free status.

▪ Affordable
▪ Good performance based on price
▪ No Parabens

Flaws:
▪ Inconvenient dispenser

I'll give it a 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐

Review:
▪This is my third bottle for this face-wash and it has become one of my favourite since last year.
I have oily skin & I'm guilty of using extremely harsh cleansers in hopes that it will vanish my oils away. For oily skin, being gentle is the key. Respecting the skin's lipid barrier in order to regulate sebum production is necessary.
▪ This face-wash has a pleasant yet mild scent of lavender, it's non irritating and goes on silky smooth on the skin. It does not foam up because there's no harsh surfactant present but it will leave your skin clean & fresh after washing.
▪ I have less breakouts now & my skin is much calmer & supple. A little goes a long way & a bottle lasts a long while.
Using it daily for both my a.m & p.m skincare routine, it lasts me for about 2.5 months which is impressive to me. So you definitely get your money's worth. ▪ It does dissolves makeup but for waterproof ones you have to double cleanse.

Merits:
+ Very gentle
+ Cruelty Free 🐰✔
+ Free of harsh chemicals
+ Mild pleasant scent
+ Lasts for a long time
Flaws -

I'll give it a 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This product was purchased by me.

I love Colourpop, especially it's Matte Liquid Lipsticks and the blotted lips.
But about this concealer, it didn't work out for me. As soon as these concealers were released, I ordered 2 of them for me. The initial release didn't have proper shades for my skin-tone but I still wanted to give it a try. I'm light to medium with a yellow undertone. I got myself the shades Beige 25 and Medium 30, (these shades are no longer the same in the 2nd release).

Medium 30 turned out to be quite dark for me even though it had a yellow undertoneand Beige 25 was perfect but it's undertone was pink.
Other than that, they oxidized too much. Which made the shades even darker. I still did a wear test. Texture was really good, creamy but quick to dry, however it accentuated my fine lines. I have alot of lines underneath my eye. It creased quite badly on that area.

As you can see in the picture, the product just sits on my lines even if I set it with a setting powder.
Coverage is medium, build-able.

Another thing that concerned me was that, when I removed the concealer with coconut oil or micellar water, it left my skin quite red. It doesn't show well in the picture but below is an example.

Maybe I'm sensitive to some ingredients. Overall, this concealer wasn't for me. I've read that it's a favorite for some but I guess each to their own.
Let me know your thoughts on this if you have used it.
Thanks for checking out my review. <3
